when reporters ask every day how many Americans are over in Afghanistan, they should get an answer
I mean they can answer with it's a fluid situation because people are leaving every hour but our estimate as of (fill in the blank) time, there is x number of Americans over there - homiedclown
I agree the conduct of the administration as regards their flippant attitude pretending this is going super well is kind of outrageous
I'd say most hall of fame defenseman are indeed point producing defenseman.
Below is the list of defensemen with the top 5 probabilities of being inducted into the Hall of Fame if they retired today (minimum 200 games played). Unsurprisingly, the top of the list contains Zdeno Chara, Drew Doughty, Erik Karlsson, Shea Weber, and Duncan Keith.Nov 20, 2020
This argument is as ridiculous as pp points dont count and faceoffs do not matter.
Check out the top hall of defenseman. HOF - Boss34
brad mccrimmon played in 1222 games beginning in 1979 which included games against two of the greatest dynasties of that era--nyi and edm...he's seventh all-time amongst defensemen in plus/minus with a +448...he's not in the hall of fame
bill hajt played in 854 career games beginning in 1973...he also played against the islanders and edmonton dynasties as well as the "flying frenchmen" dynasty of the 70's...he is a plus-320, which is 14th amongst defensemen...
mccrimmon's 403 points rank him 114th amongst defensemen while hajt's 244 points ranks him 274th amongst d-men

hajt, rammer and schoenny never sniffed the HOF
rammers was something like plus 199 and only had 1 minus season, -4 for the pens

and how many of them were soldiers they are sending home early
I watch these pressers
they don't have any answers - homiedclown
there are only 2,500 soldiers in kabul...and what's the difference...the big ta-do was that they were leaving people behind, including americans and afghans who helped us...could almost guarantee that most, if not a good chunk, of those who are on their way out are americans...
the question i'd like answered is why they didn't get out sooner...they had 15 months since the agreement plus a four month extension...
lack of preparation on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine...but the present admin is doing their best to get these people out

You’re right, it is ridiculous. You’re comparing Rasmus Ristolainen to Alex Pietrangelo because they had similar point totals
That’s such a horrible way to evaluate someone who’s main job is to prevent goals, not get points
But hey. You think a guy with 2 goals and 5 assists for an entire season would be a scoring upgrade. so you’d know bad takes first hand
but the team around them is meaningless? - Michael Pachla
Yeah, one played, for the sake of argument on a "staked team" one played with teams that won the lottery was in the lottery and just lost the lottery. Five men units matter. Erhoff had a 99 WAR number and strong advanced stats before he came to the Sabres and then...... bought out.
Homie was a Risto supporter what happened? He's a follower?
Philly means a fresh start for him and should give us a better idea as to where he really is as a d-man. I expect all of his numbers to be better - Michael Pachla
I’d like to think so too. They way he often went out of his way to get physical, well it just seemed like someone was in his ear about it. It just didn’t seem natural but then again..what do I know!?

Appreciate the research.
Almost Everyone judges defenseman by points.
It's easy and fun.
Pp points don't count
Face off do not matter
Defenseman are forbidden from scoring
Ralph ruined jeff skimmer at his 9 million salary
Cody. Eakin. Has had a terrible career. At 2+ million
Even strength goals matter, except girgs and cody. eakin.

Risto is going to be excellent in Philadelphia.
He's going to continue to have a great career.
Wait until the playoffs, viking55 is going to be a beast.

Judging players strictly on points or goals is how you are lead to believe Cody Eakin and Rasmus Ristolainen are good hockey players
I just remember me and a few people on here, coincidentally people that don’t use plus/minus and just cite point totals, trying to convince you guys Eakin was going to be terrible. Oh well
Homie was a Risto supporter what happened? He's a follower? - GilPerreault11
not sure why you want to bring me into this
I mean I can only say so many times, he was not as good as I hoped for, but IMO he was the whipping boy of the month and got labeled as a scape goat
like satan was
like roy was
like ror was
like myers was
like reinhart was
like vanek was
like eichel is
I don't feel the need to get in the risto conversation daily
I was hoping he would sign an extension and stay here and when we are good there will be a void for a physical Rd to play 20 or more minutes a night that we wont have
bottom line, he wasn't the biggest issue and wasn't as bad as many say

+/- is a good stat to a point
but
if your team is bad, and you are playing a lot of minutes when the team is trying to tie it up or the goalie is yanked
your probably adding a -20 to your name just for being in those situations a lot
it's a more accurate stat for the bottom half of your roster because they are not playing those moments
just like a good player on a good team gets a plus 20 bump for being on the ice for those situations

It would probably really piss you off to know I was a college professor too. I taught the kids all about the Afghan forces in England and when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor

Judging players solely on statistics, analytics or advanced stats leaves a void ..... of reason.
Eakin had 22 goals in 1 season, the season or 2 before we signed him.
Johan Larsson prior to last season in arizona,
30 goals in nhl 306 games.
I'd bet the odds of eakin scoring more goals again.
Next. Season.
It's funny how your giving me a hard time about a few posts. I'm enjoying it. ☝️

You forgot special teams don't matter. That one was a classic.
I think most people who said when Cody Eakin was signed and they said see ya to Latsson it was more who cares about Larsson and new blood is good especially when you looked at Eakin's past stats. It wasn't so much starting an Eakin fan club but an anything but this crap. I personally was so sick of losing with Johan Larsson, and Great28, having Sam and Skinner as their top effing wingers which I have a tough time understanding why people shed one tear for Sam leaving and not paying those two 16 million collectively long term in the top 6 instead of moving on. I am ecstatic about how they held on and got what they did for Risto and have no problem with trading him and I was a Risto supporter but it was time to cut the cord. Now, it is time, soon, to make the right Jack deal.
